Avocado

Tjabe loves avocados - no surprise for a kid. He also has to declare one every time he sees it, as he does with most things. However, for some reason he always adds a few extra syllables to the word when he says it. In the grocery store, at the dinner table, or wherever he sees one, he loudly proclaims, "Acadodododo." Last night during dinner Sam was trying to help him pronounce it correctly - it went something like this:
Sam: "Tjabe, A-vo-ca-do. Can you say that?"
Tjabe: "A-ca-do-do."
Then he turned back to his plate and added quietly under his breath, "Do-do."
Geez Dad, get it right.
